ROUTE THE COPPER TUBING BETWEEN THE
COLD WATER LINE AND THE REFRIGERATOR
Route
the tubing
through
a hole drilled
in the
floor or wall (behind
the refrigerator
or adjacent
base cabinet)
as close to the wall as possible.
Be
sure there is sufficient
extra tubing
(about
8 feet
coiled into 3 turns of about
10" diameter)
to
allow the refrigerator
to move out from the wall
after installation.
I-1 CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.
Place
the compression
nut and ferrule
(sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing
and connect
it to the
shutoff
valve.
Make
sure
the tubing
is fully
inserted
into the valve.
Tighten
the compression
nut securely.

TURN ON THE WATER AND FLUSH OUT
THE TUBING.
a. Turn the main water
supply
on and flush out
the tubing
until the water is clear.
b. Shut the water
off at the water
valve after
about one quart
of water has been flushed
through
the tubing.
I-1 CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator,
be sure
the refrigerator
power
cord
is not plugged
into
the wall outlet.
We recommend
installing
a water filter
(available
at service
and parts
centers)
if your
water supply
has sand or particles
that could
clog the screen
of the refrigerator's
water valve.
Install
it in the water line near the refrigerator.
a. Remove
the plastic
flexible
cap from the
water valve.

Tubing
b. Place the
tubing
clamp
compression
nut
and ferrule
(sleeve)
onto the end of the
tubing as shown.
c. Insert
the end of
the copper
tubing
into the water
valve connection
as far as possible.
While holding
the tubing, tighten the fitting,
d. Fasten
the copper
tubing
into the clamp
provided
to hold it in a vertical
position.
You
may need to pry open the clamp.

SET THE
ICEMAKER
FEELER ARM TO THE
ON (DOWN) POSITION.
The icemaker
will not begin to operate
until it
reaches
its operating
temperature
of 15°E or
below.
It will then begin
operation
automatically
if the icemaker
is in the ON (down)
position.
NOTE:
The icemaker
may double-cycle
when
it
first starts,
causing
some water spillage
from the
icemaker
into the ice bucket.
This is normal
and
should
not happen
again.
The first few batches
of
cubes
should
be thrown
away,
so that remaining
impurities
in the water line will be flushed
out.
I--I MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR BACK TO
THE WALL.
Arrange
the coil of copper
tubing so that it does
not vibrate
against
the back of the refrigerator
or
against
the wall.
